Plant Information

Top Tips

Use unglazed terracotta pots to display your succulents at their best. Not only decorative, they will lose moisture through the sides, helping to prevent to roots sitting in damp soil.

Care Guide

Always use specialist cactus compost when potting. This is sandier and grittier than ordinary compost which helps keep the plants dry.

Keep plants frost free - although some will tolerate low temperature, in general they need to be kept above 8-10°C, so make ideal houseplants.

While succulents can survive on very little water, they will not thrive. From April to September, water weekly, allowing the compost to soak up water and drain freely. Feed with a general-purpose feed at 1/4 strength once a fortnight.

From October to March, water only when the compost has dried and then only enough to stop plants shrivelling - never let water sit in the rosette of leaves.

Keep your plants in bright, but not direct sunlight - an east or west facing windowsill is ideal.

Dust can build up over time, so keep a soft paintbrush handy to remove it as necessary.

If moving your succulents outside for the summer, do so gradually increasing the time outside gradually. In the winter when you bring the plants in, place near the brightest window in your house.
